Naveen P.
Pharma/Nutraceutical/FMCG/Cosmetic products R&D, Formulation
16+ years inside pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturing plants across India and Singapore as a process engineer, industrial pharmacist, and formulation specialist before bringing that expertise to brands worldwide on Upwork. This means when I review your formula, compliance strategy, or manufacturing plan I am speaking from direct hands-on experience, not textbook knowledge. I help supplement and pharma brands launch FDA & GMP compliant products — without the risks, recalls, and costly reformulations that come from working with consultants who only know theory. ⚕️ PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATION ★ Core Expertise ▸ Tablet Formulation — Standard, Fast-Dissolving, Non-Effervescent, Chewable, Coated ▸ Capsule, Gummy, Softgel & Liquid Dosage Forms ▸ Lyophilization (Freeze-Drying) Protocol Development ▸ Peptide & Sterile Product Formulation ▸ Cosmetic & Personal Care Product Development ▸ Pilot Plant to Commercial Scale-Up ▸ Master Formula Records & Batch Manufacturing Records ◆ REAL CLIENT RESULT: A supplement company needed R&D support across Ayurvedic and diabetes product lines — ongoing research, formulation, and development support. → 1,501 hours of expert execution over 2+ years → Client: "Very experienced.
